I've downloaded the Samsung open source code for the NX2000 camera to check into changing the 30 minute time limit for videos, and just 20 minutes for 1080p30.

There's also drivers in the code for 1920x1080p60, even for 1920x1440p60. 1920x1440 would be good for utilizing the entire sensor area for low light video, and morphing to 16:0 1929x1080 for a wide area affect like the Superview setting on the GoPro Hero3+ Black Edition which I found to help quite a bit in low light.

There are code segments for handling video and audio recording formats, and bitrates, fps, and resolutions, all would be nice to increase. This file has hundreds of interesting variables for camcorder mode:
TIZEN\project\NX2000\imagedev\usr\include\mmf\mm_camcorder.h

Notable camcorder variables include:
MMCAM_IMAGE_ENCODER_QUALITY
MMCAM_CAMERA_FORMAT
MMCAM_CAPTURE_FORMAT
MMCAM_CAPTURE_WIDTH
MMCAM_CAPTURE_HEIGHT
MMCAM_AUDIO_VOLUME
MMCAM_FILE_FORMAT
MMCAM_VIDEO_ENCODER
MMCAM_AUDIO_ENCODER
MMCAM_AUDIO_SAMPLERATE
MMCAM_AUDIO_FORMAT

I'm primarily concerned with the video time limit for my application. Among 99,017 files within 8,691 folders I've located the following files which handle camcorder limits:

hi guys. is there a link, step by step on how to change the recording time from the few seconds it allow to an hour?

if so. please let me know...

Im eager to try it and change it.

thanks!!!
